Biography

One of the most popular female country singers of the '90s, Trisha Yearwood initially rose to fame as a protégée of Garth Brooks but quickly staked out her own identity as an assertive yet vulnerable modern woman. The lead single from her 1991 self-titled debut album, "She's in Love with the Boy," rocketed to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star. Three more singles from the record went Top Ten, and she toured as Brooks' opening act, gaining immense exposure. Her follow-up was the acclaimed Hearts in Armor, which appeared in 1992 during the aftermath of her divorce. ~ Steve Huey
